AWESOME skids!

After wheelin my Gladiator in the rocks, I was tired of dragging the stock skids on the rocks and getting hung up. Plus that noise of the stock skids dragging on rocks was horrible!! Since putting on my Artec skids, my Gladiator slides right over the rocks now and I didn't add a bunch of weight. The install was easy, I gained and inch of clearance, and there is nothing to hang up on. Great product and fit and finish was perfect! A must do mod for any Gladiator that wheels.

Q:Why does this recommend: Note: 1.5 Inch and up lift recommended for use with bellypan?
Is it clearance issues ? Does this work with manual transmissions?

A:The bellypan does work with manual transmissions . As far as the 1.5" lift needed it is for the pumpkin to clear the drive side front oil pan skid bracket without that lift it will contact when you hit a bump or dip .

The JT bellypan installs very much like the JL bellypan which is featured in the install video and written instructions below. Many of the parts are shared so you will see some parts labeled JL4101-x and some parts labeled JT4150-x. There are some differences and we are working on an updated video and written instructions for this but it takes a while. In the meantime, here are the differences.

In step 8, parts 4 and 5 use different hardware and attach slightly different than in the written instructions. Part 4 uses M10 hardware that is longer replaces the OEM hardware. Remove the OEM bolt on the front motor mount and thread in the new M10 bolt. It will pass down through the OEM captured nut and then you insert the top of bracket 4 and then loosely fasten with washer and nut. Part 5 attaches to the top of the motor mount bracket instead of underneath. Remove the OEM bolt from the front motor mounts and then place bracket5 on top of the motor mount and then install the OEM bolt again.

In step 9, the forward most hole on the gas tank skid is held on by a nutstrip JT4150-16 that is inserted into a slotted hole on the side of the frame just like you did in step 7 with part 12.

In step 9, on the gas tank skid, the hole right in front of the lower control arm bracket needs the aluminum spacer in between the frame and gas skid. Reuse factory bolt here.
